            <h3>CSS/SASS</h3>
            <p>The CSS can stand on its own, but it is also built to be enhanced by the developer. For simplicity you can always just add in your own CSS and override default properties. And for even more power and flexibility, the core is written with <a href="http://sass-lang.com/" target="_blank" rel="external nofollow">Sass 3.4.9</a> and includes easily customized variables and mixins. We feel we’ve left the CSS in a state which can be easily extended to get your own look and feel.</p>
